Cheating Wife: Amber Shumake Opens Up About Her Affair (VIDEO)

WATCH: 'Infidelity Saved My Life'

Is infidelity ever the right choice?

For some -- like Amber Shumake of Fort Worth, Texas -- the answer is yes. In a HuffPost Live segment that aired Wednesday, the yoga instructor opened up about how having an affair with a woman helped her find herself again after being in an emotionally and physically abusive marriage.

"It wasn't until I had an affair that I started to feel again, to find myself, to pick her back up off the bathroom floor and bring her into me," Shumake said. "So in that case, I feel like infidelity saved my life. I'm convinced it was the only way to get out of the marriage at that time."
